From this list London or Tolouse and they should be exempt from relegation for 2-3 seasons. If we don't want the game to die we have to help it grow. Sorry for Leigh/Fev/whoever but it's getting very close to crunch time.

Nah, i think you're catastrophizing. Need to see more ppl watching Hull, Leeds, Wigan, Salford etc. If ppl from other areas of Europe don't want to watch RL, then eff 'em. We don't need them. Need to see the Lions play against Oz more often.

Agree with the sentiment of growing the game but after this last year priority should be given to stabilising the professional game.

Play off between London and Fev

I agree, but with the signings Toulouse have made this week, reckon they already know they're in SL.

Plenty of collieries inside the Leeds Boundary Middleton Colliery was massive in south Leeds as was Waterloo Colliery in East Leeds....

Talking of the "Colliers" Fev's Mark Campbell has gone public to lambast the selfish Superleague who only think of themselves, and their disgusting self interested rejection of Toronto Wolfpack. Mr. Campbell finishes his "self interest" attack on Superleague by insisting that Featherstone should have their place.....

You couldn't make it up could you?

Not the same thing Jim. Argyle stopped paying his creditors before this season, then he stopped paying his own players half a dozen games in, and he walked away.

Neil Hudgell wants to walk away now but he has paid all his creditors and players.

Maybe your falling for the "It was Covid what did it" nonsense re:Argyle. The Billionaire lost only Millions on TWP. That didn't "bankrupt" him. If anyone thinks it did show us the listing for his Bankruptcy?

Nice idea but these clubs don't have their player squads ready. They are doing it by "Licensing" That gives Newcastle Bradford, Widnes and York a chance as well.

Ground, Finances, Player development, attendances, commercial revenue were the criteria last time we had licensing.

On field performance could be used using 2019 final placings Toulouse 40 points York 39 points, Leigh 36 points, Fev 34 points.

People could be happy Toulouse get in as that international "expansion" would be a good headline to deflect from Canada's abandonment. Other clubs may claim Toulouse aren't a full member club and should not get in front of an English side. That could leave York in pole position........

Has to be Toulouse or the games credibility will go from next to zero, to zero

However, no doubt it will Bradford

If Toulouse are justifiably accepted in SL, then good luck to them.

However, in my view,if there is promotion next season, I'm happy for any other club to EARN their right to a place in SL for the 2022 season.

Bradford or Toulouse all the way, maybe Widnes, in fact any Uk side that has not won the World Club Championship needs not apply.
